Kashish and her family completely settled in bank quarters.
While her sister is in kitchen., Kashish is indulged in thoughts.

" why I felt strange after entering into this village, and that temple I don't know I feel like I know that place very well, I never came here before then how I can feel so??
And why I felt uneasiness inside temple, an I getting mad or what..
And who is that man why he is shocked to see me I don't know him, and what a village! those people are not even moving to save that child, to whom they are fearing?" Kashish thought.

She opened her shelf and went through her clothes and took out a photograph.
A smile appeared on her lips seeing the person.

" when will you come?? I can't wait to see you, we're not even talking in phone, I have so much to share with you. I'm waiting for your call and writing letters too..
I hope my letter reached you by now, you will write reply to me na, I love you..." Kashish talked to the photograph and placed back the photograph safely and went from there.

Scene shifts:

Everyone is sleeping except Soudamini, after hearing Pratap's confession sleep is far away from her.

" she took rebirth, not only that she came to this village,
I don't know what will happen if she remember her past.... no that shouldn't happen at any cost, we are safe till she can't recall her past, I have to talk with my sons" She thought and went to Pratap and Arjun who are sleeping in corridor.

" you both wake up" she yelled at her sons.
They got up and looked at her puzzled.

" is everything alright mom?" Asked Pratap, " what happened mom?" Said Arjun.

" from tomorrow onwards, you both have to behave nicely with Kashish and her family" Soudamini said sternly.
Pratap and Arjun are shocked at her statement.

" meet her and gain her trust and friendship" Soudamini said looking at her sons.

" what are you talking mom, you want us to do slavery to her?" Yelled Arjun, to which she replied " did I said to do slavery, I just said to be nice with her and her family, first collect every information about her then plan according to it"

" but why we have to do it?" Pratap questioned, " did your brain stopped wroking, I'm securing ourselves from her,
What if she remember her past?? she will definitely avenge us,
So if we be nice with her then there might be chances she won't harm us" Soudamini said while Arjun gritted his teeth in anger and yelled getting up " it's enough mom, you fear for her?? How many years we have to fear for her, till today I followed your conditions just for your sake not in fear of her...
If she even think to harm us, then this time she will die in my hands.
We are living like sages all these years,
But now you are asking to be nice"

" she took her life because of us, won't your remember that...
I was feared that her vengeful spirit haunt us and ordered you both to live like this so she can't harm you both,
Now also I'm scared for your safety, what if she recall everything she won't sit silently" yelled Soudamini, " I said to you that day and I'm saying it now also hear it carefully, she can't harm us not in this birth or any other birth" Arjun shouted.

" if you don't do according my wish, I swear I will die in same temple like her" Soudamini Shouted.

Pratap and Arjun Gasped in shock.

" you both have to be nice with her and we will think what to do next after hearing pandit's advice" ordered Soudamini.

Soudamini left from there, Arjun turned to Pratap who is in his thoughts.
" are you happy now?? You're getting another chance to meet your lover" Arjun taunted.
" don't be foolish Arjun, did I said she is my lover??
I said I just had soft corner for her at that time and you're naming it love?" Pratap said.

" whatever, mom is becoming foolish day by day, at first she feared for her spirit which never existed and now she is fearing for her reincarnation...
It is all because of that Pandit, he gave that stupid advice...
We're just 18 and 20 then, now also look we are not old, we can still marry but, no one are giving their girls to us to marry.
I can't live like this anymore this mediation and all that" Arjun spoke coldly.

Pratap thought and said " I also don't believe in this superstition, but we agreed for those conditions just for our mom's satisfaction, now also we have to do just for her peace"

" it's enough brother...now mom is asking to be nice with that witch, it's impossible don't you remember because of her we went to jail " Arjun said and left from there.

" don't know what advice that pandit will give us" Pratap sighed and looked on.
